  • Hello and welcome to Magazine Sixty, Richard. Aficionado is due to celebrate twenty years in 2018. Congratulations and what do you remember about, and the reaction to, those first nights you ran along with Jason Boardman? Hi. Yeah it was a funny time back then. Both Jason (who I knew as a customer from Eastern

  • A culturally defining moment. When culture is defined by music. The brutal realities engaged via the caustic kick drum and furious Techno bassline on Hate Me are beautifully contrasted by the powerful words delivered by Patrick Cash. They could apply to any city, anywhere. To anybody. Either way. 2017 never sounded as important. For people

  • Listening to some Jazz on radio recently I was reminded about the sheer power that can be harnessed by simple piano chords. The organic nature of which it would be good to hear a lot more of, and soon. Such indeed as the opening bars contained in the title track of this new EP from

  • This is fucking excellent. Not only do you get to play big time but it’s downright sleazy, injecting a sense of bravado and dare I say it, FUN into increasingly tired dance equations. Warning: it does talk about t**s and Coc**** – fab! Energy, is co-produced by Felix Da Housecat and Clarian while featuring Agata’s

  • Returning to Steve Bug’s super good imprint Chocky once again delivers smoky, involving music over the course of travel. Double Dip begins the recession busting selection with a deep, hypnotic combinations of bass and smooth organ stabs offset by addictively punchy vocal hits, plus a heavy dose of soulful intention.

  • A breathlessly wonderful production that soars all the way. A genuine flash of brilliance which ignites the stereo skyline with its rich infusion of caustic synthesized lines eventually cumulating in a sizzling array of bright hi-hats, plus ever evolving keys hinting at blissful melodies.
